    Abstract We report the first case of eosinophilic pleural effusion due to Anisakis spp. infection in a 39-years-old European subject hospitalized for worsening dyspnoea and abdominal and thoracic pain. Lung CT scan showed bilateral pleural effusion; thoracentesis revealed significant eosinophilia (45%), with normal eosinophils in the blood. Microbiological tests on pleural effusion were negative for bacteria, SARS-CoV-2, tuberculosis, fungi and parasites. The patient used to eat raw fish; Western blot was positive for Anisakis spp. in blood and pleural effusion. In the era of globalization, unusual parasitic infections should be considered also in nonendemic countries, especially in patients with unexplained eosinophilia.

    Abstract Ureaplasma urealyticum is part of the normal genital flora of many sexually experienced people, thereby it is mostly associated with genitourinary tract infections. Here, we present the first case reported in the literature of spondylodiscitis caused by U. urealyticum in a 62-year-old immunocompetent subject. U. urealyticum was detected through broad-range bacterial polymerase chain reaction in all samples obtained by T11 bone biopsy, while cultures were all negative. Due to the technical difficulties in removing the spinal osteosynthesis devices, no neurosurgical intervention was planned, therefore a suppressive therapy with moxifloxacin was administered. After 7 months, the patient underwent T10-11 partial vertebrectomy, insertion of an expandable cage at that level, the substitution of T11 screws, and prolongation of stabilization from T6 to ilium due to a fracture of T11 and T12; the remaining spinal osteosynthesis material was not removed. A computed tomography scan of the spine did not show features compatible with spondylodiscitis. Moxifloxacin was stopped after 15 months without any recurrence of U. urealyticum infection. Our case highlights the importance of considering U. urealyticum as a potential etiological germ in culture-negative spondylodiscitis.

    Abstract Purpose: To search for a clinical potential link between subacute thyroiditis (SAT) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a series of patients diagnosed with SAT during the COVID-19 pandemic, by retrospective evaluation of (1) clinical symptoms and (2) contact tracing.
    Methods: SAT  patients diagnosed from March to December 2020 were enrolled. The presence of typical clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2, diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2, and contact with other individuals proven to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 were searched.
    Results: Ten SAT  cases were included. Fever was recorded in four patients. Cough, dyspnea, and headache were rarely reported. No patient had diagnosis of pneumonia. Two patients had moderate to severe fatigue after SAT. One patient experienced loss of smell and taste and had persistent fatigue over the following five months. No patient had positive SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests. At contact-tracing evaluation, only one patient had a contact with people who were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2.
    Conclusions: Patients diagnosed with SAT during COVID-19 pandemic rarely experienced SARS-CoV-2-related symptomatology. The contact tracing did not show close contact with SARS-CoV-2 individuals in 9/10 cases.
